To all whom it m aypq nc n the beater-frame, rigidly fixed at its center to moved. By removing the cover and then lifting the entire beater, the butter will all be carried along on the disk-formed colander a, and the buttermilk drained therefrom to remain in the churn.

I am aware that fixed heaters and hinged gathering-blades have been used in churns, and that a slotted disk having fins on its upper side and cutters on its under side has been combined with a rotary dasher; but-I claim that my manner of forming series of fixed vertical blades near the circumference and hinged gathering-blades inside of the fixed blades, and combining therewith a disk having a plain top surface and a series of elevating-cutters, vis a novel and valuable improvement, by

means of which butter can be quickly churned and gathered in a mass upon the disk a, to be elevated, drained, and removed expeditiously and advantageously.

I claim as my invention- In the construction of a churn, the disk a, the shaft 12, the beater-frame c c k, the two series of fixed vertical bladesl 2 3, and the hinged gathering devices g, arranged and combined to operate substantially as and for the purposes shown and described.
